WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A former White House aide fighting perjury charges should not get access to reporters' notes and other newsroom material because they have no relevance to his case, several news outlets told a U.S. judge on Tuesday.
The New York Times, NBC News and Time magazine also argued that press freedom would be damaged if they were forced to hand over the material sought by former vice presidential aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby's defense team.

We have a new standard. Instead of going to jail to protect their sources, reporters now want to send their sources to jail to protect themselves.

No, no you Freepers have it all wrong. Lewis Carroll assures me you have the sentence first and then the trial.

Figures. NOW they decide to make a "moral" stand. All the left's "stands" are composed of cardboard platforms covering a liquid foundation: they disintigrate immediately, but the plublic doesn't notice because their collective attention span is too short.

"News" outlets resist getting to the truth!
I put the word news in quotation marks because most of what we see that purports to be news isn't.

I hope Scooter's lawyers root out who the reporter that spent 4th of July at the Wilson residence. This was before the Novak article, and proves she wasn't trying to be covert.

These jackasses can lie about the news but scatter like cockroaches when pressed to divulge the truth.
